Hi folks,

The latest issue (#80) of DITKOMANIA was released this week. The theme of this issue is Ditko's 1980s Marvel work. The issue includes a checklist of Ditko's work for Marvel from 1979 to 1998 (not counting reprints), which may be useful when hunting down those comics at this summer's comic-cons. (Oops, and I think I may have neglected to list that Speedball pin-up noted on this board...!)

Plus articles on Captain Universe, The Shroud, Dragon Lord, Ditko's "What The!?" story, and more. My own article for the issue attempts to reconstruct the events which led Ditko to Marvel in late 1978. As usual, there's a bit of rarely-seen Ditko art, some new fan art inspired by Ditko's work, and a lively letters page.

The issue is 44 B&W digest-size pages (counting the covers) for $3.00 postpaid in the USA. More ordering info (including international rates) can be found at http://www.ditko-fever.com/dmreturns.html

Thanks,

Rob Imes
